Sitiroko yaikulu ingasinthe. Ndipotu, oposa 80 peresenti ya odwala matendawa amatha kupulumuka, ndipo ambiri amapitiliza kukhala ndi moyo wokhutiritsa, wokhutiritsa. Koma, nthawi zina pambuyo pa kupwetekedwa, chiwopsezo chachikulu kwambiri cha banja lopweteka chingathe kuchitika. Ndi pamene wokondedwa wanu samakhala ndi moyo, kumwalira masiku angapo akudwala stroke.
Kawirikawiri, imfa ya stroke siyiwonekeratu monga momwe mungaganizire.
Nthawi zina, okondedwa anu adzalengeza kuti ubongo wamwalira ali m'chipatala.
Kodi imfa ya ubongo ndi chiyani?
Imfa ya ubongo ndi nthawi imene ubongo wawonongeka moopsa kwambiri moti palibe ubongo wokhazikika kapena mwinamwake kuti munthuyo adzachira. Izi zikutanthauza kuti munthu sangaganize, sangakhale ndi cholinga choyenda, samamva chilichonse ndipo samamva. Anthu omwe ali ndi ubongo wakufa sangathe kudya kapena amakhala ndi chifuwa kapena chikhodzodzo.
Dokotala amayang'anitsitsa mosamala ntchito zamaganizo ndi malingaliro kuti aganizire ngati ntchito iliyonse ya ubongo ikugwirabe ntchitoyo asanafotokoze munthu ubongo wakufa. Gulu la zamankhwala liyenera kutsimikiziranso kuti kuwonongeka sikungatheke pisanafotokoze munthu wina wakufa zakufa.
Kodi ndi liti pamene wina akuti ubongo wamwalira?
Imfa ya ubongo ndi pamene munthu alibebenso ubongo. Madokotala amapanga kafukufuku wotsatanetsatane wa ubongo kuti atsimikizire kuti palibe ubongo umene umagwira ntchito asanafotokoze ubongo wa munthu wakufa.
Chifukwa chakuti mankhwala ena omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito mu malo odwala kwambiri angathe kusokoneza ntchito ya ubongo, odwala ayenera kuyesa mayendedwe a ubongo kuti ubongo ukhale wogwiritsira ntchito mankhwala.
Munthu akhoza kupitiriza kukhala ndi mtima ndi kupuma komwe kumayendetsedwa ndi makina othandizira moyo ngakhale pamene ali ndi ubongo wakufa.
Kodi ubongo ndi imfa kwenikweni?
Inde, imfa ya ubongo ndi imfa weniweni. Chifukwa chimene liwu lakuti 'ubongo wakufa' likugwiritsidwa ntchito ndilo chifukwa odwala ena omwe ali odwala kwambiri amatha kukhalabe ndi moyo mwa makina. Kutsimikiza kwa ubongo kumatanthauza kuti ngati makina achotsedwa, wodwala sangathe kukhalanso ndi moyo, ngakhale atapatsidwa mankhwala ochizira kwambiri.
Kodi madokotala amanamizira za ubongo kufa kuti atenge zopereka?
Palibe cholimbikitsa kuti madokotala amanama za ubongo kuti apeze ziwalo zowokera odwala kapena kufufuza. Madokotala amene amasamalira odwala odwala sali madokotala omwe amaika ziwalo mwa odwala ena. Ndipotu, chifukwa cha zizindikiro zogwiritsidwa ntchito, ziwalo zingapo zogwiritsira ntchito ziwalo zimakhala ndi munthu wolandirira yemwe ali mu boma kapena mumzinda wina kupatulapo woperekayo.
Odwala ena omwe ali ndi matenda kapena matenda omwe angaperekedwe kwa olandira sangaloledwe kukhala opereka bungwe.
Kodi madokotala amapanga zolakwika za ubongo?
Zolakwitsa pofotokozera munthu ubongo zakufa ndizochokera ku nkhani zabodza za sayansi, koma ziri zosavuta kwambiri pamoyo weniweni, makamaka chifukwa pali anthu ochuluka omwe amapereka omwe akuyenera kuvomereza pa matenda a ubongo pogwiritsa ntchito njira zomwe zimapezeka kupyolera mthupi mobwerezabwereza nthawi zosiyanasiyana.
Nthawi zina, magulu azachipatala amayesa kuyezetsa matenda monga electroencephalogram (EEG) kuti awone ngati pali ubongo uliwonse wogwira mtima kuti uwonetse ubongo imfa.
Kodi ndiyenera kuchita chiyani ngati wokondedwa wanga akunenedwa kuti wafa?
Ngati wokondedwa wanu atsimikizika kuti ubongo wafa, izi zikutanthauza kuti palibe njira zodziwika zomwe zingapulumutse moyo wake. Ngati simukukhulupirira za vutoli, mukhoza kupeza lingaliro lina kuchokera kwa dokotala wina.
Wokondedwa wanu mwinamwake wapatsa munthu wina kuti amusankhire chithandizo chamankhwala panthawi yovuta, ndipo ngati ndinu munthu wotchulidwayo, muli ndi mwayi wowona chithandizo cha mankhwala, kufunsa mafunso ndi kufotokozera kwa odwala.
Ngati ndiwe wosankha chisankho, mungadzipeze nokha kufotokozera zomwezo kwa banja lanu lonse. Inde, mukhoza kupempha akatswiri ogwira ntchito kuti akuthandizeni kufotokozera zoona ndikuyankha mafunso okhudza imfa ya wokondedwa wanu. Sichikhala chophweka, koma tsimikizirani kuti ngati mwauzidwa kuti wokondedwa wanu ali ndi ubongo wakufa, palibe chimene mungachite ndipo palibe chifukwa choganiza kuti mukuyenera kuchita china chirichonse.
